Changing stroke rehab and research worldwide now.Time is Brain! trillions and trillions of neurons that DIE each day because there are NO effective hyperacute therapies besides tPA(only 12% effective). I have 523 posts on hyperacute therapy, enough for researchers to spend decades proving them out. These are my personal ideas and blog on stroke rehabilitation and stroke research. Do not attempt any of these without checking with your medical provider. Unless you join me in agitating, when you need these therapies they won't be there.

What this blog is for:

My blog is not to help survivors recover, it is to have the 10 million yearly stroke survivors light fires underneath their doctors, stroke hospitals and stroke researchers to get stroke solved. 100% recovery. The stroke medical world is completely failing at that goal, they don't even have it as a goal. Shortly after getting out of the hospital and getting NO information on the process or protocols of stroke rehabilitation and recovery I started searching on the internet and found that no other survivor received useful information. This is an attempt to cover all stroke rehabilitation information that should be readily available to survivors so they can talk with informed knowledge to their medical staff. It lays out what needs to be done to get stroke survivors closer to 100% recovery. It's quite disgusting that this information is not available from every stroke association and doctors group.

Team of Chicago Hospitals Awarded Grant to Accelerate Stroke Research, Treatments

Those of you in Chicago will need to get involved because if it is left to the hospital employees they won't even research the proper items, namely to prevent the  neuronal cascade of death in the first week. These 177 possibilities need research.

A new network dedicated to advancing research and therapies for stroke is forming in Chicago thanks to $2 million in grants from the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The Chicago Stroke Trials Consortium is a partnership among Northwestern Medicine®, Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of ChicagoJohn H. Stroger Jr. Hospital of Cook CountyLoyola University Medical CenterRehabilitation Institute of Chicago, Rush University Medical Center, and University of Chicago Medicine that will build an infrastructure to support clinical trials for stroke prevention, treatment and recovery. Northwestern University will be the regional coordinating center for the consortium and administer the project over the next five years.
"The Chicago Stroke Trials Consortium brings together the city's leading stroke experts and top medical centers in an integrated approach to improving treatment of stroke and reducing death and disability from the disease," said Shyam Prabhakaran, MD, MS, the principal investigator for the consortium, who is a neurologist at Northwestern Memorial Hospital and associate professor of neurology at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine. "The primary goal of the network is to rapidly develop, promote and execute high quality, multi-centered clinical trials that will study interventions for prevention, treatment and recovery from stroke in both adult and pediatric patient populations."
